ITT Get your name change on again!

Post by AKKOLADE »

Post here and I will change your name.

There may be a delay because I have a friend in from out of town, but I wll update as soon as possible. I'll be using the random topic function from Wikipedia to change your name.

I am slightly scared, but sign me up for random name change!

(On a related note, I think the starship name is tons cooler than Donald's new one)

My only request: don't give me a name that gets cut off my the name length. If it's too long to fit all at once, could you click 'random' again? Kthx :grin:

Both the person and the dog are the same (the dog turns into the girl). Does that clarify a bit?

Dog --> human --> lesbian action? Why do I expect this from the Japanese?

Hmm... A little bit of inquiring from my Japanese-obsessed friends tells me that guru guru is a vaguely onomatopoeiac phrase for spinning or dizzy, which can mean lovestruck or lovesick in slang. -chan is a feminine diminuitive suffix, very informal and usually used to address pets, boy-and-girlfriends, and young girls.

So yeah, you're a lovesick little lesbian labrador, chief.

Upon further review, it appears that the storyline is that the dog is a chick that loves a guy who is her owner when she is a dog.

When you get your name changed, you should be able to find your new name by looking at the memberlist, assuming you have some identifying details there like location, email, post count, &c.
